The League of Women Voters of Humboldt County, a non-partisan organization dedicated to informed citizenry, presented their Award for Civic Contribution to The Humboldt County Children’s Author Festival at their 2023 State of the Community luncheon. Each year the LWV requests recommendations from the public and selects honorees after considering many nominations. A recent League newsletter states that “Our community is full of hard working people and organizations with similar missions to that of the LWV, making democracy work.”
